User Rating: 8.7 | The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King PC

This is a very cool game, there is a short video and then it takes you straight in to game play. Anyone can start hacking away at Orcs and it's instant fun. The game has a very different view from most games, where the camera follows and pans round your character as you move through the level.

Even on hard stages in the game you find yourself immersed enough to keep trying. The experience points scheme is an excellent way to encourage the player to try harder and customise your characters attacks.

Only one thing that annoyed me from the start is not being able to skip cinematics, if you've seen the Return of the King then it can be annoying watching clips of the film when you want to be playing the game. Overall though, worth buying.
